Chapter 4 - Weekend Trouble
Host Club
Haruhi was the first to leave the club that night. As she left the twins and Tamaki were having a private conversation. Although they tried to stay quiet Hinata heard their conversation. Something about it being the weekend and they really wanted to go visit Haruhi's house.
"I-I don't t-think that Haruhi would like people going over unannounced. I-Isn't s-she always r-rejecting the proposition."
Tamaki jumped "You heard that?" Regaining his composure he said "Well no matter. As the king of this club I say we all go and visit Haruhi's house tomorrow."
"Besides we are" Hikaru said.
"Interested where" Kaoru continued.
"Commoners live." They finished together.
"I want to go to Haru-chan's house too." The short boy exclaimed. "And we can bring cake and eat lots and lots of it." Mori nodded in agreement with Hunny.
As Hinata glanced over to Kyoya expecting him to say something as well. But he didn't. Just sitting at a table with his laptop and working as usual. I wonder what he is always doing. But it is none of my business so whatever. She sighed. I have a feeling that this will not go over well.
Haruhi's House
The next day they host club arrived in front of Haruhi's house. The guys had all arrived in one of their family's limo while Hinata had just walked over.
When Hinata got there an over reactive Tamaki was the first to notice what she was wearing. She wore her casual baggy beige sweater with her clan's symbol on it and some sweat pants. The same outfit she had worn the day Haruhi was over at her house. Tamaki yelled at her which caught the other members attention. "What the heck is that attire? Daddy has told you before. Wear more feminine clothes."
"You're not my otou-san. You aren't even anything like him. And besides I like baggy clothes. They are"
"Comfortable." The twins finished comming up to the two. She had said that so many times before that the only one who still oposed was the king.
"Don't worry Hina-chan. You look cute in anything."
Hinata just stood there not knowing how to react.
Meanwhile Haruhi was headed home from a trip to the store. As she heard awed voices. She ran up trying to make herself believe that it wasn't the host club. As she saw them in view she sighed.
One of the locals that knew Haruhi warned her. But said she was fine.
"What are you guys doing here?" Haruhi asked in a displeased tone.
"Oh no. She mad." Was all Tamaki spitted out.
'I said that wouldn't like it so why are you hiding now?' Sigh. 'I just don't understand him or the others.' "S-sorry for the intrusion Haruhi" She bowed. The local that had warned her earlier was impressed with the young lady's manners.
Haruhi wanted to send them all away but couldn't say no to Hinata so she bitterfully allowed them in.
They all entered the small two bedroom apartment. "This place is small. Even my closet is bigger than this." 'At lease it is better than my dream.' Tamaki thought.
"Well sorry senpai for not having as much money as you." Haruhi calmed herself down. "Now why don't you sit where ever there is room. I'll go make some tea." The host club tightly sat around a table in the family room.
"Ah Haruhi I will come help." Due to Hinata's politeness she got up to help Haruhi in the kitchen.
They all sat quietly in the room. Made a few comments but Kyoya ignored all of them thinking. 'I wonder where Haruhi's father is. He said that he would be here today.' As Hinata and Haruhi was stirring the tea he continued to think in his own world. 'Now that I think about it how did Hinata get here? She refused us to come pick her up and then she showed up without me ever having to tell her the address. Guess that is just one more mystery of Hinata Hyuuga-san. One day I really need to find the answers to these questions.'
"Sorry that not all the cups match" The two returned back into the room.
Tamaki released his breath in a relieved way "At lease they aren't all broken, or a measuring cup." He shivered.
"I'm poor not a homeless bum!" Haruhi was very irritated. Especially because of all of Tamaki's unneeded comments.
It was then that the door to the apartment opened and someone said in a singing tone "Haruhi I'm home." This person went to the family room to find her daughter with Hinata and six guys in which he only knew Kyoya. "Ah guests. You must be the wonderful host club that I have heard so much about."
"Haruhi talks about us?" Hikaru asked.
"I never said anything about you guys." Replied Haruhi.
"Then who?" Tamaki questioned.
"Nice to finally meet you in person Ranka." Kyoya had finally spoken.
"You spoke?"
"Well someone had to keep in touch. As president it should have been you." He stated emotionless.
Turning to face the woman he went on his knee and said some lines to try and dazzle who he thought was her mother.
"W-what are y-you d-d-doing Tamaki-senpai?"
"What's wrong Hinata-chan I am just being polite to her mother."
Ranka was in rage but everyone eyes were on Hinata except Kyoya who already knew what she was about to say to notice.
"That is Ranka. Haruhi's father."
At this peoples faces dropped. Mori kept his same expression but was nervous on the inside. Kyoya was also relaxed. Haruhi just wish she could have had the day off to herself. Now Ranka could no longer control her anger and slapped Tamaki across the face.
The day continued on. Ranka and Tamaki were constantly fighting. Many remarks even about there similarities were being told. They ate cake and just sat and talked see that was about all they could do with their available space.
It was getting late and everyone was just about to leave so they could go home and eat dinner until Ranka yelled crying "No stay"
"So you have finally come around to acknowledging my prowess." But when Tamaki looked where Ranka was, he was giving Hinata a tight hug.
"Hinata-chan you can stay." He continued not letting go. "You can stay and eat dinner with us."
The host club members were surprised about how friendly and open she was with her.
"Yeah stay and eat dinner with us. There is no need to go home and eat all alone."
"Ah um" Hinata didn't know how to respond. She was squeezing her tight making her uncomfortable than there was the host club who was staring at her confused. "S-sure" Her face deep red. She really needs to get over being embarrassed easily one day.
"Why? Are your parents on a business trip or something?" Kaoru asked curiously.
"Th-that's not it." The host club were now even more interested with the excepting of Haruhi that already knew. "I-I live a-alone a few blocks from here."
Now only if you could see the expressions on their faces.
"Why?" Hunny sounded concerned.
"Um well" Haruhi could obviously tell that she was uncomfortable with the questions they were asking her so she stepped in.
"Stop harassing her." There was seriousness in her tone of voice. "Can't you tell that she doesn't want to answer. If she wants you to know about her life she would tell you."
The club now felt regretful.
Then Kyoya remembered the private conversation he had with Haruhi before.
Flashback -
Haruhi looked over to the currently happy Hinata "I'll have to decline. It is not my life to share. If she wants us to know she will tell us."
End Flashback-
I can only guess that she knows for the most part. But for Haruhi to be this serious it is probably something that is too soon to reveal. "We will be leaving now." And with that Kyoya left. Followed soon by the others.
"Arigatou Haruhi. It is not from lack of trust or that I don't want them to know. I am just not sure if I am quite ready yet to tell them." Hinata put on a smile "So shall I help with dinner?"
"Yeah Hinata is staying. You can help Haruhi make lots of yumy food."
The Hiitachin Limo
'Why? Why won't she tell us? Doesn't she trust us? Aren't we her friends?' Kaoru was looking out the window with a from upon his face. 'I just feel sad that she can't be open with me.'
Hikaru noticed the expression on his brother's face. Not saying anything he put his hand on top of his brother's hand. Trying to comfort him.
Haninozuka and Morinozuka's Limo
Hunny was no longer in his facade. 'Is the reason you are not telling us the same reason you would not answer my questions last time. If it hurts you can open up to me and I could comfort you. But I can't do anything if you try to go through it alone.'
Mori was staring at Hunny who looked a bit disappointed. 'Mistukuni you still haven't realize have you. You're true feelings for Hinata. You don't just think of her as a friend or like her as a sister. To you, you think of her as more.'
Kyoya's Limo
'Well I am getting data but slowly. She is obviously not ready to tell anyone but I wish she did. So many things would be cleared up easier that way. And easier to cure my curiosity.'
Tamaki's Limo
'Haruhi you just had to yell didn't you. But even when you are mad you are still cute. Although I personally think that your dad needs different hobbies and a personality change. And why is he on good terms with Kyoya and Hinata but hates me. God answer me. At lease her house and living style wasn't nearly as bad as that nightmare of mine.'
Not much happened in this chapter but I needed to add it for future chapters. Sigh. Should probably go to bed soon been staring at the computer for hours. Yawn.
